Hi everyone, how was your Saturday? Weather here in Maryland was gorgeous. We had a great busy day doing groceries (yes, we’re that boring ;)). I hope you did something that you enjoyed too, even it’s just groceries. :lol: We went to Greal Wall, the biggest chinese market in the area, then Costco and finally Whole Food.

From Costco

From Great Wall:

from Whole Food: AB, apple was on sale; Fage 0% and soy milk to make soy yogurt, wheat berries and brown rice.

Food wasn’t spectacular because we spent most of the day outside and I didn’t take pic of all the snacks we had on the road.

My friday random concoction was soooo good that I had it again

My parents had steamed crabs

They spent like 1.5 hours to almost finish 3 of them. Crap….. it’s so much work to eat that! I offered to do the cleaning of the kitchen afterward. Such a good daughter, right? ;)

Dinner was tortilla pizza. I haven’t had it for a long time and yesterday when I walked out from the pool (I went to swim, updated in WORKOUT) I suddenly had a craving for cheese, so that I had.

Dessert was the new dark chocolate

and the obvious

What a wonderful day~~~ Very relaxing, spent a lot of time talking to my parents and did a lot of my favorite thing (groceries). Oh… forgot to reveal how much was the bill… $220!!!! :shock: Can you believe it???? I know, that’s insane!!!! But we got a lot of goodies, right? :mrgreen: (I usually spend 70-80 by myself)

Girl! My friend Y and I are trying out your recipe TODAY! YUMMY! Also…I GOT YOUR PACKAGE! It was one of my highlights of the day. I LOVE the knitted goodies and homemade cards! Did you get your package yet???

I love filling my refrigerator with new, healthy foods! Well at least you ended up getting a lot for your money, right?? I can’t believe you bought crabs! That’s great.
I am used to living my healthy lifestyle by now, and it really wasn’t to hard to start it because I have been eating healthy since I was in the womb :)
Regarding your comment on my blog, I have not read the China study, but I know you have mentioned it before so I should get my hands on it!

hey hey! Look at all that fresh produce (yayyyy). I’m all for spending $$ on good/healthy food. I’d rather make cut backs in other areas of my life (clothes, going out, etc). Healthy living feels so natural now, its almost harder to eat bad than good!

Looks like you got some great goodies. Seriously, I would love to eat with you sometime! :-)

Living a healthy life is/will be a lifelong process for me. I think I have to make conscious choices to eat right and exercise every day. It does get a bit easier as time goes on, but I think it still is something that I have to work on.

You are stocked UP! :) Lucky you!
Living a healthy lifestyle has definitely become who I am over the past couple of months–at times it’s a bit of a struggle to come out of the store with a reasonable bill and the food I need, but I try to make it work!

You always ask such interesting questions! For me, the “healthy lifestyle” is mostly habit these days, but it certainly wasn’t something I was born with, or that I was raised with. It was only in the last couple of years that I started making conscious decisions to live a healthy lifestyle, and over time, it has become a habit :)
